Summary

"Within my body are all the sacred places of the world," the Buddhist saint Saraha once said, "and the most profound pilgrimage that I can ever make is within my own body."

For 15 centuries the realized masters of the tantric path used the crucible of their own lives to develop a powerful and accelerated means to enlightenment. Today these teachings remain alive within the usually hidden inner courtyard of the Vajrayana vehicle of Tibetan Buddhism, a tradition that requires the courage to engage your body, your human desires, and your most challenging life obstacles as the basic fuel for insight. Now, with Buddhist Tantra, esteemed teacher Reggie Ray introduces you to these precious teachings and invites you to explore the path to naked and unprecedented experience. The popular or exoteric teachings of Buddhism are known to many, yet its esoteric teachings remain relatively unknown in the West. If you have been seeking a gateway to this potent tradition, Buddhist Tantra is an unsurpassed opportunity to enter into the temple of its deepest truths.

Entering the Vajra World Through the Vehicle of Your Body

The word tantra means "to weave through", a metaphor that points to the vibrant fabric of intelligent and living energies that make up the essence of every cell of your body, every fleeting thought you have, and every particle of the universe. Entering this undefiled and ever-renewing vajra world is the promise of the tantric path.

Really thought provoking

I have read and listened to Reginald Ray for a good few years and whoever I do I learn and understand so much. I have been practicing Tibetan Buddhist practices for over 20 years and I gain a lot of understanding of what I am doing from Reginald Ray. There is so much clarity in his communication. A wonderful spiritual practitioner.
Thank you.

More of an intro to buddhism itself. (male view)

Tailored more to a male reader. No advice on practice with a tantric partner. Disappointed. Nothing that you wouldn't find in another Buddhist book or intro articles to tantra.

Distracting pauses

Mid sentence pauses (& I mean literally mid sentence, mid flow pauses which leave you frustrated after constantly experiencing it!) have prevented me from getting past 30 minutes of this book - I’m sure the content goes on to be wonderful but I’m just struggling so very much to listed. I may return to this book in future but for now I’ll have to move onto something with verbal ‘flow’.
